HC Deb 15 February 1955 vol 537 c24W
68. Mr. Jay

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how far it is still the practice among local authorities to dismiss employees at the age of 60 or 65 years, even though they are fit and willing to work.

Mr. Sandys

A circular on this subject was sent to all local authorities in October last. The replies, so far received, show that authorities generally are not insisting on any fixed age for retirement.
